Weekly Share: Other JCrew-like Retailers

This is the weekly "Other JCrew-like Retailers" post (similar to the "Off On A Tangent"
posts), where we can share our finds from other
retailers that have offerings similar to J.Crew
(like Anthropologie, LE Canvas, Gap, BR, Talbots, Ann
Taylor, and the like.)

If you
have recently encountered items that are similar to
J.Crew, maybe you might be
willing to share that information with us
in this post.

Please feel
free to share your story on almost any topic—
including experiences with certain merchandise pieces,
promotions/ offers, in-store visits,
transactions with store associates, etc.

I always see people on this blog writing about Boden...I think I saw a catalog once but didn't seem a whole lot like J. Crew...Do they have stores in certain parts of the country? I have never seen one.

RN - They don't have any stores on the east coast that I know of, I'm not sure about the rest of the USA. They have only started within the past few years to really tap into the US market so maybe there will be some B&M to follow in the future. I hope so although their USA shipping has vastly improved within the past year.

I agree! Even though I haven't bought a lot of Boden in ages, the aesthetic is really appealing to me. Kudos to their designers, who really have come up with some lovely 60s and 70s-inspired pieces. The catalog is put together so nicely...a real cohesiveness to the collection that I feel has been missing from J. Crew for quite awhile. Some of these items may make it to my closet this time around!

I was unsure if the Boden affiliate I was working with would issue a 15% off coupon, but I found one this evening. It doesn't take effect till tomorrow, but it is in the sidebar of my blog for those of you needing one.

There is a Boden Icons collection coming out next week, on September 22. It looks very interesting. If you knew the Boden Limited Edition from years ago, it is similar in that it has luxe fabrics and exquisite tailoring, but seems a bit more "edgy/boho." Some of it is lovely, but a few of the pieces are a bit much for me personally.

I wrote up a post this evening that is set to publish early tomorrow am that discusses both the fall rollout, but also the Boden Icons collection. :-)

I just tried the coupon at the blog and it isn't working just yet (6:45 am), so I will email the affiliate program as soon as I can, and hopefully they will have a fix. The coupon is good for a while, though.
